State Mandated Attendance Policy
Please keep in mind attendance policies are mandated at the state level (not the district level) and our state funding is directly tied to them.
What is considered an “excused” absence?
The State is very clear about what is — and what is not — considered an excused absence:
• Illness is an excused absence.
• Family travel is NOT an excused absence
Personal matters must be verified in writing and may or may not fall into the excused category depending on the matter.
Please Notify the School of ALL Absences
Any absence that has NOT been verified by phone, email or note is considered “Unverified” and is Unexcused. Several Unexcused OR Unverified absences automatically generate a truancy letter from the district.
If your student is going to be absent please contact your child’s teacher directly.
